The deadline for NBA teams to sign players to two-way contracts was Wednesday, March 4. Since that deadline has now passed, no two-way deals can be signed between now and the end of the 2025/26 season. Clubs will be permitted to begin signing two-way contracts for the ’26/27 season on July 1 (restricted free agents who receive two-way qualifying offers can technically accept them in June).
Under the NBA’s previous Collective Bargaining Agreement, two-way signings weren’t permitted after January 15. Teams took full advantage of the extended window to complete two-way deals this season, finalizing 34 of them between the February 6 trade deadline and Wednesday’s deadline. During that same period, teams promoted 20 players from two-way contracts to standard deals.
There were six teams – the Nets, Bulls, Rockets, Lakers, Knicks, and Raptors – that didn’t make any moves involving their two-way players between last month’s trade deadline and the two-way signing deadline. The other 24 clubs were active.
As our tracker shows, all 90 two-way slots around the NBA are now filled. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean the 90 players currently on two-way contracts will all finish the season on those deals.
There are still a handful of two-way players who could receive standard contracts before the regular season ends. The Celtics, for instance, are one team to watch, as both Max Shulga and Ron Harper Jr. are candidates to be promoted to the 15-man roster to fill one of the team’s three open spots.
A team can promote one or more of its two-way players to its standard roster at any time between now and the end of the season — that team simply wouldn’t be permitted to sign a new player to fill the empty two-way slot created by the promotion.
